looks like some more configuration work needed.

1. part way scrolling through a list of posts suddenly there is some refresh looping causing the entire page from the advert on down to jump back and forth (up and down really) making things unusable.

2. the "vote" column might be better on the outside column so accessing the last post link isn't potentially cutoff from the view when the browser window is smaller than (perhaps) optimal for the site?

nicely done! that's what i had for breakfast!

"you can't drink all day if you don't start early"

the secret is to make sure you're taking advantage of the mass transit system and weekends. i was fortunate enough to spend about 9 months of a year there and walking around on the weekends, and playing in the open mics around the city (thereby meeting people as well ). it's not a big city (like London for example) so on a weekend you can cover quite a lot of territory and really see the small shops and restaurants etc that are missed when taking taxis... renting a bike is nice as well but there is a "stolen bike" problem (mainly the city takes the bikes then resells them -- but that's a different discussion )

@Rich-O-Brien doesn't look like there is an option to edit signature in the settings or profile areas (found via the vertical triple dots).

also, the "your posts" is called "best posts" - maybe call it "latest posts" or "recent posts" as i'm sure not all my most recent posts are the "best" ones

there are sources for the NCS colors and there are also online and github converters to get to rgb or hex which as Rich has pointed out could be imported from a text file.
e.g. source https://www.paintcolourchart.com/ncs-colors (which shows corresponding rgb, hex)
e.g. https://github.com/m90/ncs-color

ncs_color_converted.csv

best to get a chain lock on that or someone will likely steal it (assuming they can ride it or fit into their car LOL)

@Box said in How to stop irrelevant posts showing up in our feed.:

@box didn't you have like 50,000 reputation points before the upgrade?

i dumped the color list into a spreadsheet and ran the convert code to create the csv i attached to my original message.

i created a color file which can be imported by Fredo's Color Paint tool. colors are sorted in name order. since rgb leads in the file, sorting on rgb would be easy enough in case you want to see in color order vs name order...

ncs_color.txt

another consideration are vierendeel openings for ducts... etc

yes! i have some custom DC to mimic this but it's flakey and i haven't revisted it, so have this "built-in" will be a nice feature.

what if i want them staggered the other way? LOL J.K. nicely done!

wall structure using additional support for beam over door or window.![example steel framing for beam over door. you would adda stud on each edge of the steel column to support the top plates. but this is the idea. today when this arises, i just manually remove the members and add the needed assemblies.

@medeek I'm away until Thurs I'll send some then

i don't have to do it often but a couple of recent projects have beams over doors to address the extended span of a room with the door the best option - in those cases we used steel i-beams as posts and header as well as the new beam in order to get the load supported needed with lower profile than wood products. so it's rarely needed but a useful option when you can get around to it. maybe even just leaving the space so manually someone could insert the members / assemblies would work.

agreed - i'd say less detail on the components to improve speed and rendering, and just good descriptive text / names instead. one option might be in a "library" view showing a detailed version of a single component so selection purposes, but the generated structure uses the simpliest possible geometry.

honestly though, if i was putting in a beam support over the opening, i've have either an additional jack stud under the header/lintel, or a X x X sized column on either side, and likely as well as a glulam etc type header/lintel. unless the beam was only supporting some deadweight and not a live area above. just me probably...

stair openings basically the x-y position and the length + width of the opening. doubling of the header joists and across (trimmers) as options. possibly right angle openings as well?

it would be awesome for joist hangers esp on the angled parts. currently i use my own dynamic component to build angled versions of the hangers - not technically detailed but sufficient for parts list and for the contractors to build it... not sure about the mitred rim joist but i think i would likely recommend it for my projects where i only have a very small air gap so the mitred ends would be a neat finish.
